Although i am given the option to ignore and therefore continue the operation, do you plan on safely handling this for the more stable release (and is English the only supported LANG language)?
Any custom story worth releasing should have a description, and thus have a language file. English is the only supported language at this time.
I may incorporate multi-lingual support.

It should already, unless your Steam is not installed correctly.
What's your OS?

I noticed your program currently assumes that the custom story developer has organized their story the proper way. Will this be how the program will remain, or do you plan on implementing a more abstract way of handling custom story file management?
Not sure what you mean, because custom_story_settings.cfg and language files must be placed in the root of the custom story to be found by the game. And those files are the only ones the program cares about.
